Pretending AI and Chatbot are interchangeable is a marketing strategy by the companies who make these advanced chat bots. "They are artificially intelligent bro".
I don't disagree that the term AI has shifted significantly in the last 4 years or so, but I was actually meaning it in the other direction, as in, there is more to generative AI (what people are calling "AI" these days) than just chat bots.
